Book Reviews of The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals

Book Review: I don't have time to be a Sneaky Chef!
Summary: 1 Stars

The premise of this book is great: make several healthy 'puree's' ahead of time to be used in a myriad of different kid-friendly recipes. The beginning of the book is all fluff, and the recipes, while i'm sure tasty, are too much for a quick weeknight meal. I don't know about anyone else, but I have absolutely no time to make 9 puree's ahead of time with ingredients that I really don't keep on hand that often. This book is not for a busy working mother that needs to prepare a quick healthy meal for her family in twenty minutes time.

I'm thrilled that so many people have found this cookbook to be helpful and so many kids are eating vegetables that have been "snuck" in to their favorite meals. For my family, this book was a complete waste and very impractical.

Summary of The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals

Parents will do almost anything to get their kids to eat healthier, but unfortunately, they've found that begging, pleading, threatening, and bribing don't work. With their patience wearing thin, parents will "give in" for the sake of family peace, and reach for "kiddie" favorites--often nutritionally inferior choices such as fried fish sticks, mac n' cheese, Pop-sicles, and cookies.

Missy Chase Lapine, former publisher of Eating Well magazine, faced the same challenges with her two young daughters, and she sought a solution. Now in The Sneaky Chef, Lapine presents over 75 recipes that ingeniously disguise the most important superfoods inside kids' favorite meals. With the addition of a few simple make-ahead purees or clever replacements, (some may surprise you!) parents can pack more fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants in their kids' foods. Examples of "Sneaky" recipes include:

-No Harm Chicken Parm
-Power Pizza
-Incognito Burritos
-Guerilla Grilled Cheese
-Brainy Brownies
-Health-by-Chocolate Cookies
-Quick fixes for Jell-O(R)

It's a book chock-full of strategies that will help any parent incorporate better health for the whole family.
